Re: Bren's Sunflower 172
Cheers guys, would look good but can't really justify the price.
Yeah, reminded me just how much I love it once I gave it a clean.
Have had this on my mind, but I think i'd end up ripping it off on my drive.
That looks stunning! Love the height! Bumper cut out actually looks well good too. Cup spoiler would finish the rear off nicely

Splitter would be a nice addition too

Might be worthwhile at the end of the month. Where's the best place to get hold of them? What sort of prices they go for? The bottom of my bumper is a little battle scarred..
Put a skoda one on it, flexy enough and ive only ever pulled it off the middle skrew. I'd say I'm about as low as you on my silver one and its been fine lol. Does make a nice difference

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172
ah cool, cheap enough. Will look for a part number.
Skoda splitter can be bought at any Skoda dealer for £13 iirc. It's also very durable. I'm forever hitting the kerb in car parks with mine

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172
ordered my 3/4 plate on Monday and it arrived yesterday from fancy plates. Measurements are 84x150mm as per the guide on here. Pretty chuffed with it, but looking at the pic I don't think it's on straight...

Cheers man, surprised it's been recieved so well to be honest.
Double sided sticky foam, always use it for reg plates looks miles better than screws.

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172
The plates on my old bugeye impreza were held on with double sided tape, got up one morning to find them missing lol, found out later they were used on the get away car in an armed robbery, always use screws now lol.
Nice car btw, makes me want to get my Artic blue MOTed after lots of work even more!

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172
bugger me... well I've never had any problems on all my other cars.
Well, I had an interesting weekend. ICV has gone mental, so car keeps cutting out as it won't hold revs which was/is really really frustrating. Fitted N/S driveshaft last night with thanks to a couple of friends. Ended up it was more f*cked than the one we took off, and literally shakes the car on right hand bends LOL.
To top that all off, on the drive home tonight right around the corner from my house I hear a knocking noise. First I thought it was the driveshaft. Gave the car a quick rev, oil light comes on and starts knocking it's tits off. So bottom end has gone. The oil is full, and I was just cruising home from work like I do everyday. Reckon it's an oil pump failure or a blockage somewhere.
This isn't the end though... I'll just have to do a little saving, and hopefully get a fresh engine (and driveshaft) in there. Granted I'm a little bummed out about it, but meh, there is nothing I can do.

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172
Yep.. likely. To be honest, I was expecting it to go before that. It's done about 5k since that happened though. Was completely out of the blue too, just glad it was around the corner form my house it decided to go. Will have a bit of a think, but will certainly be back on the road this summer.
Rekon this is linked to smashing the sump?

Re: Bren's Sunflower 172
Yeah would be a good idea, just have to see how things go with getting it back on the road first off.

Bad news on the engine.
Excuse for it to come back better and stronger though.
